Proposed or Under Construction

When the foundation for a manufactured home has not been fully completed and the unit has not been installed, the home is considered to be “proposed or under construction.”

There are two MPR-related requirements for these proposed or under construction cases:

·   The site and on-site improvements (but not the manufactured unit itself) must meet the requirements outlined in Section 12.02.

·   The manufactured home unit must be properly attached to a permanent foundation system which is constructed to withstand both supporting loads and wind-overturning loads, and is acceptable to the building authority having jurisdiction.

·   References:  In addition to Proposed Construction MPRs in this chapter, additional information regarding manufactured home installations can be found in

-   the manufacturer's installation instructions (used to determine the permissible points of support for vertical loads and points of attachment for the anchorage system used to resist horizontal and uplift forces), and

-   the Appendix section of the CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code.
